Givereasons : The dipole moment of chlorobenzene is lower than that of cyclohexyl chloride. |
Answer» Solution : Chlorine is more ELECTRONEGATIVE than carbon. This CREATES a positive charge on carbon linked to Cl in cyclohexyl chloride. In CHLOROBENZENE the electrons on chlorine participate in resonance with the ring. This decreases separation of charges. Hence dipole moment of chlorobenzene is LOWER than that of cyclohexyl chloride. |
